The Cleverlys Kick Grass With New EP, "Cash Crop"

The Cleverlys Kick Grass With New EP, “Cash Crop” Available Friday, August 12 on iTunes

Rolling Stone Country Track Premiere of “By The Way,” And Bluegrass Today Video Premiere of “Loser” Now Live

Comedic bluegrass band, The Cleverlys, celebrate the release of their new five-song EP, “Cash Crop,” Friday, August 12 by giving fans a sneak peak of their video, “Loser,” on BluegrassToday.com today . Fans can also check out Rolling Stone Country’s exclusive premiere of the new track, “By The Way,” here.

Commenting on the group’s “stylized remake of Beck’s 1994, ‘Loser,’ with a bluegrass twist,” BluegrassToday.com remarked, “It’s a rip-roarin’ battle in the ring as Digger Cleverly and the boys turn Beck’s recitation into a groovin’ grass tune with tongues firmly implanted in their cheeks.”

Rolling Stone Country added, “Until the Cleverlys came along, it was nearly impossible to find bluegrass bands writing songs about podophilia (that’s a fancy word for foot worship), sharing tales of milking alpacas and mixing grassed-up covers of songs from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flo Rida and Beyoncé into their vast and delightfully strange repertoire.”

OneStopCountry.com remarked, “they also showcase that they are more than just a cover act and are in fact a bona fide bluegrass band …incredible harmonies, top-notch songwriting….they are able to showcase their extreme ly raw talent as they didn’t re-arrange the songs to make them fit the mold of what they do, but they rather took their style and fit it incredibly into where it by no means should fit as well as this.”
